The Latest from IFC

Measuring Impact for Stronger Development Outcomes

We are embarking on a journey to achieve stronger development outcomes. Our new Scorecard will provide a yardstick to measure how we deliver on our mission to end extreme poverty and boost shared prosperity on a livable planet.

Agriculture and Food as an Engine of Sustainable Growth and Jobs

The global agriculture and food system can do more than just feed a growing population—it holds immense potential as a driver of growth and job creation. This flagship event at the Annual Meetings will explore how governments and businesses can lead this transformation.

Women Transforming the World

Accelerating equality is an urgent priority. We cannot end poverty on a livable planet with half the population excluded from reaching their full potential. Join us at this Annual Meetings flagship event to explore how boosting women’s economic opportunities can transform our world.
